more about the solaris8 'bug'.  looking at the 3.6 sources i see:

...afs_vnop_readder.c...
#ifdef  AFS_NEXT_ENV
                                        auio->afsio_resid, origOffset, &treq);
#elif defined(AFS_SUN5_ENV)
                                        len, origOffset);
#else
                                        auio->afsio_resid, origOffset);
#endif

pretty clever eh?  #ifdef/#elif?  most cpp's just silently ignore the
#elif.  btw, from what i can see len will always be 0 (set at the top
of the loop).  when creating the openafs tree i guess someone just
merged the #ifdef and #elif (and created a compiler warning that
someone fixed).  i dont think the 'len, origOffset)' fragment was
ever actually in use especially since it doesnt make sense.

so i suspect that all solaris platforms should be broken in openafs 1.0.2.
